Jimmy Carter is the man who put in precision guided munitions and stealth technology. Without Carter's controversial budget moves we would not have the sort of weapons that mince a Soviet army in days.

Standardisation can lead to innovation or be an innovation in itself. Think about containers - shipping containers or docker containers - the most exciting innovation in phones is not in the form of the chargers or batteries.
While the benefits of the EU for countries that are somewhat economically weak (and I include Czechia to the list) are obvious, Iceland is a different story. Iceland would be joining a union that is, on average, both less rich and less economically dynamic than Iceland. This could be economically disadvantageous for them; and being very far from the EU core, there aren't that many network effects to benefit from.

As the CEO of Habitat for Humanity says in the video, it was for marketing, not the houses he literally built. "I don't think anyone would have hear of Habitat for Humanity If President and Mrs. Carter hadn't gotten on that bus in 1984" - They've since gone on to build over 800,000 homes - he could have easily not gotten behind them in such an earnest way year over year.
I wrote my own version of system-wide pie menu in swiftui in around 2 days (with no previous experience of swift), so I can say the tech/effort is not a limitation.

On the other hand, the performance/resources can't be really analysed in isolation. There's too many apps that say "everyone can afford 100MB app and 250MB of ram, right?"... then that menu app and that tiny updater and that printer helper and slack and dicord and VPN app add up and we're at 3GB of ram usage already. (Yes yes, some of it can be reclaimed temporarily and then swapped back from files... but we shouldn't need to in the first place)
£1200 UKP, so a little less. Targetted at having 48GB (2x24Gb) VRAM for running the larger models; having said that, a single 12Gb RTX3060 in another box seems pretty close in local testing (with smaller models).
Also, the US is pretty much the only developed country growing at any meaningful rate (though deficit spending is probably a large cause of that and is arguably not sustainable at the current rate).

Biden was past his prime and it showed during the campaign, though.
> Your criticism may be reasonable; but does it really cut at the heart of the issue?

The article hardly provides any support for its "closed ecosystems" thesis beyond this anecdote. Whatever the situation is on this hardware (and wmf's sibling comment points out that there might indeed be something odd going on), it seems far more likely that it's the result of sloppy engineering by Dell and/or Microsoft, rather than a deliberate plan to restrict user choice (or something).
So no third party, including law enforcement can access data held by apple? Including apple? At any point?

I'm asking these questions because I'm definitely not going to read the manual, for the reason I've already said, you seem to have read the manual, and I find it hard to believe. I'm only aware that apple offers advanced protection on your uploaded data, which you have to opt into, which might be what you're talking about...?
I actually think the Green New Deal (aka Inflation Reduction Act), CHIPS Act, and the extra $500B in infrastructure spending totalled together probably overtake the strategic importance of something like the ACA. But to each their own, most people disagree with that view.

It was Clinton who made the WTO, GATT and NAFTA treaties that made manufacturing be sucked out of the US.

Carter was only following up on Nixon. It was Nixon-Kissinger who had the brilliant idea of splitting the communist bloc (an idea which I’d say likely helped shape the end of the Cold War - without China influencing Asia in cooperation, the Soviet threat was much reduced). Carter was only following up on a winning strategy.

But it was Clinton and his team who did the most work to wipe out the American industrial sector.

It makes it sound like you don’t care what the downside exactly is, which in turn makes you sound very proselytic and not interested in any discussion.

Yes replaceable batteries make your phone thicker, ok. The upside outweighs this downside by a far margin for me.

The reason it does not exist is definitely not because people do not want it, it’s because it ensures a higher revenue to smartphone constructors, it is basic capitalism (and I don’t mean capitalism is bad, it just will always tend to maximise profit, it’s its nature)

Finally, it is less wasteful to be able to replace components.

And to add an anecdote: replacing my battery on my iPhone was so complicated that the apple technician broke the screen (it was replaced free of charge) and it cost me 50% of the residual value of my phone. Wasteful and expensive, in summary. Replaceable batteries would solve this.
I don’t really understand the categories you’ve set up or the traditions you’re referring to, but it seems like consequentialist ethics would be good as a historical exercise, but not much else. Because we mostly don’t know what will happen when we act, at least not with the clarity that that kind of analysis would need. I think the implicit ethical problem here is that there’s not much any individual can do that will have a measurable effect when it comes to entities as large and powerful as big tech (or any other industry). So then how do you think about making ethical decisions?
I use the term "great and terrible" (like Oz). We've had many great and terrible people. I find it useful to know that people who are geniuses can also be total jerks and idiots.

I was also able to find that driver and posted it in another thread. I can fully believe that it wasn't available when OP searched for it, but maybe they just didn't find it due to Dell's support site being somewhat difficult to navigate for people who aren't used to troubleshooting Dell computers and especially clean installing or dual booting them.

One workaround is to install in AHCI mode and then use the safe mode method to switch the storage mode out from under Windows, install missing drivers for the desired boot mode under safe mode if they aren't installed automatically by Windows, then reboot to exit safe mode.

However, OP doesn't seem to have the option to switch to anything other than RST, which could be due to BIOS settings and/or Windows settings, as well as flags on your partitions that cause Windows to boot in read only mode. You might need to toggle some settings for legacy/uefi compatibility mode, reset BIOS/EFI to (un optimized for Windows 8/10/11) default settings, disable secure boot temporarily, etc to let the EFI allow you to toggle the boot mode on some Dell BIOSes, however, especially in OP's case where they appear to not have any alternate drive modes besides RST in BIOS/EFI. In especially bad cases, you might even need to update the BIOS to enable these modes and/or wipe the EFI partitions and possibly the entire boot drive, as sometimes the BIOS/EFI is inserting itself in the boot process via "dirty bits" and/or Fast Startup mode.

"general anti-family and anti-natalist policies have stopped replacement level birthrates in all EU countries."

This problem is present everywhere outside Subsaharan Africa and Afghanistan, it cannot be pinned down on the EU. If Tehran, Beijing and San Francisco have the very same problem, it must go deeper than just "anti-natalist policies": all sorts of societies, religions and systems tend to react to modernity by an almost identical crash in births.
You can use the time to think and process, or to rest your mind. Hardly useless!
> OF could, if they don't have it already, add a button "I'm forced to upload against my will" and then forward the information to local police. With financial transactions, there's always a real ID trackable.

I think there is a common scenario where the victims don't upload themselves. The most prominent in the article, where the guy had 14 guns or so, probably was such a case, even though not explicitly stated.

> I guess not many people would accept a technical solution like having to re-verify your account at a communal office every 6 months with a government ID issued to your real name in order to upload porn...

Can you confirm your logic, please? Let me paraphrase: if a tech T has an undesired side effect X, and removing X reduces T's market, we should accept X?

If that's the case, I can see a few cases where this applies. For example, we allow tobacco despite of its known disastrous effects.

But, honestly, I am being appalled by the immediate jump to "meh, that's how capitalism works". Your argument is "the only solution I could come up with in 30 seconds would devalue the platform, so them poor bitches will have to live through this!".

Here is a simple thing OF could do: Aggressively inform users and creators of "signal for help" [1].

Here is a more complex thing OF could do: monitor the content for suspicous content, just as they are doing for child porn–they can use the exact same mechanisms, but screen for typical features of abused women, in the payments, etc. That's all basic stuff OF apparently does not do today. If 5 women work towards the same billing information of a single male, that's a red flag for sure.

> But: I can't help but feel that the focus on OF is misguided. There is only so much you can do when there's an abuser nearby who scares you so much you won't even talk to police — who can show up with guns and jail the abuser for 20 years!

Actually, I think if you really want to it is much easier to get hold of sex traffickers now OF exists. Why? Because it is documented, you might have channels to the victims, you have business information of the perpetrators, etc.

> If that claim about hand made items being better were true, there would be a market for hand made CPUs

Isn't a CPU kind of one of the most complex thing humanity has ever created in hardware terms? Like the scales involved are so different, compared to the examples of a guitar, chisel or knife. It requires so tiny tolerances and measurements, that I guess we're past it's even possible to "make a CPU by hand" that comes close to our current CPUs. Sure, you can always use old CPU designs from back in the day, but a knife today can be the same as it was 2000 years ago, it just has to be sharp and comfortable, so really hard to compare.

> I have seen this sentiment expressed, but I have yet to see any real evidence for it.

Have you gone searching for evidence? The examples being guitars, chisels, knifes, suit and shoes, sounds simple to search how the top-of-the-line stuff is made. I'd bet on that high quality things from those categories are in fact typically hand-made.
> I would rather have factory made versions since I know they are likely made precisely to a specification and deviations from that specification likely make things worse, rather than better.

For these items in particular, there is generally no extant factory automation that will get you a better result than a human craftsman. You'd be a fool to pick extant mass produced alternatives, all else being equal.

A CPU is a pretty poor analogy here, since it's not only precision that makes handmade examples of the above items superior, but it's essentially the only thing that matters for a CPU (or something like an iPhone, etc). You likely could design a superior factory for many of those items, taking into account materials variance, bespoke details for individual customers, etc., but it would not be economical in the markets where these items are sold.

edit: I also think these items are a bad analogy for medicine, where precision is paramount. So I probably agree with you there.

Restricting immigration is a long term investment in America’s future. The golden age Americans remember from the mid 20th century is partly the result of the 1924 immigration act, which cut the foreign born population from almost 15% to under 5% by the 1960s.

The membrane potential encoded the presence of an odor

> Apple is building a location database, for free, from user's photos and saying it's anonymized.

Where on earth did you get that from? The photos app is sending an 8bit embedding for its lookup query, how are they going to build a location database from that?

Even if they were sending entire photos, how do you imagine someone builds a location database from that? You still need something to figure out what the image is, and if you already have that, why would you need to build it again?

> Encryption is only good relative to computational power to break it available to the many, or the few.

Tell me, do you sell tin foil hats as a side hustle or something? If this is your view on encryption why are you worried about a silly photos app figuring out what landmarks are in your photos. You basically believe that it’s impossible for digital privacy of any variety is effectively impossible, and that you also believe this is a meaningful threat to “normal” people. The only way to meet your criteria for safe privacy is to ensue all forms of digital communication (which would include Hacker News FYI). So either you’re knowingly making disingenuous hyperbolic arguments, you’re a complete hypocrite, or you like to live “dangerously”.

No, to interpret it in a way that suggests that's it's mainly foreign workers would be extrapolating beyond what I said. I believe the worker-employee dynamic is fundamentally unbalanced[1] in favor of employer leverage over employees. I simply believe that this same dynamic is exaggerated when it comes to H1-B workers. It's simply easier to examine a social relation when it's more apparent.

The way I see it, American tech companies are siphoning considerable amounts of money from other countries thanks to a tech monopoly. For instance, I see my taxes being used to pay MS Office licenses/subscriptions, and I strongly suspect that if anybody ever manages to displace MS as king of the word processing hill, it will be a US company, or a non-US company bought by a US company.

So, yeah, my non-US taxes being used to pay for US jobs? I can live with that. But I can also live with them being used to pay for jobs in my country.
All else being equal, lower return on houses would result in fewer being built.
